Description
This LED is designed for
Datacom, Telecom and General
Purpose Applications. It has a
long wavelength LED for links up
to 10 km at 125Mbps. It meets
standards for FDDI (ANSI
X3T9.5) and ATM155Mbps.
The device is optimized for
62.5/125µm fiber and actively
aligned in an ST® receptacle.
The MF432 PIN Photodiode
is recommended as Receiver
for this LED.
